WWE Comebacks: 10 Stars Set to Shock the Ring!

* Chris Jericho: While currently in AEW, his contract is set to expire in December 2025, leading to significant speculation about a potential WWE return, which he has publicly stated he would consider.

* Jinder Mahal: After his WWE release, Jinder Mahal has expressed interest in returning, citing both creative and financial considerations for a potential comeback.

* Goldberg: The WWE Hall of Famer has confirmed that the date for his final retirement match is set for 2025, with strong speculation pointing to a July 12, 2025, "Saturday Night's Main Event" in Atlanta. He is undergoing intense preparation despite physical hurdles.

* Alberto Del Rio: Despite previous rumors fueled by WWE's acquisition of AAA, it's now clarified that a direct return to WWE programming for Alberto Del Rio is highly unlikely. WWE has reportedly only inherited his existing AAA contract, and past controversies make a new deal improbable.

* Ilja Dragunov: The former NXT Champion, out since September 2024 with a torn ACL, is expected to return to in-ring competition around September or October 2025 after a lengthy rehabilitation period.

* Ronda Rousey: There's ongoing speculation about a potential WWE comeback for Rousey, possibly under Triple H's creative leadership. She has indicated an openness to returning, particularly for a tag team run with Shayna Baszler, though not on a full-time basis.

* AJ Lee: Speculation about AJ Lee's return to WWE surfaces around major events like the Royal Rumble. While she has consistently avoided a comeback since her 2015 retirement due to a cervical spine injury, fans and even other WWE Superstars have expressed a desire for her return.

* Omos: He has been absent from WWE television for a significant period but has recently been wrestling for Pro Wrestling NOAH. Omos has stated he's "just waiting" for his return to WWE and is ready to "dominate" once again.

* raun Strowman: Released by WWE for a second time in May 2025, Braun Strowman is often rumored for a comeback, especially at events like the Royal Rumble, given WWE's history of bringing back "giants" for one-off or full-scale returns.

* Baron Corbin: His WWE contract expired at the end of 2024, and he has been working on the independent circuit. While no concrete WWE return is confirmed, he has stated that the door to WWE "never closes" and a return is always possible.
